Abstract
Chronic urticaria is an unpleasant diseases which is not accesible for ethiologic treatment. According to prominent mast cell and eosinophil infiltrate a prominent role of sulphidoleukotriens in the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria is expected and a role of antileukotriene drugs might become impotrant. 30 adult patients with chronic urticaria and poor response to systemicantihistamines would be additionally double blind crossover treated with antileukotriene montelucast 10 mg. The area of involved skin and itching would be followed. Activation of lymphocyte subpopulation, their cytokine profile, appearance and characteristics of immune deposites will be studied in 3 mm skin punch biopsies.
